It's written by an x Sat. morning contributor to the Times. His dry sense of humor is actually what I love. I've read a couple of his books. He writes about typical suburban life, family, animals, parties, hikes, home repairs, and even losses-including the death of his beloved Posh (wife) to cancer. But always with a style anyone can relate to. Since leaving the Times over some dispute he is now online. Highly recommended for an escape from the everyday depression that the news brings us to.
